The Power Of Family: Black Celebrity Families that Inspire Us

They say the family that prays together stays together, but how about the family that works together, stays together? Or the family that walks red carpets together stays together? No? Anyway, check out of our favorite celebrity families who are becoming power houses in the 21st century and inspiring us to make better family units ourselves!

The First Family

It’s only right that we start our list off with one of the most influential family of all time! The first family, The Obamas, who show us you can indeed balance work and family life and do both very well.

The Carters

Together, Beyoncé, Jay-z, and baby Blue Ivy have become an iconic family in entertainment and music. According to Vogue UK, the family is worth almost a billion dollars!

The Smiths

It’s no surprise that The Smiths are on our list. Between the acting skills of Will and son Jaden, and the musical talents of Willow and Jada, this family is amazing.

P. Diddy & family

This well-blended family is full of stars. Mr. Combs is the father of five kids, biologically, but we love that he’s taken Quincy under his wing from day one. We’re expecting big things from his family, starting with his son Justin who has already wowed us by earning a full ride to UCLA.

When Cookie and Magic Johnson opened up about their support for their gay son EJ, they reemerged as a major influential family. They inspired us to accept others and love them unconditionally.

Sister, Sister! (Cue theme music) After all these years, Tia, Tamera, Tahj and Tavior are still our favorite siblings.

The Anthonys

We love that despite having hectic careers, LaLa and Carmelo are constantly putting their family first!

The Akils

This powerhouse couple is also mom and dad to two beautiful boys! Mara and Salim are an inspiration to every couple working together.

Lebron James & Family

Lebron may be a superstar on the court, but he’s just a dad and husband to his family. We admire the way he speaks about Savannah.

The Braxtons

It’s hard not to love this family!

The Wayans

This large family is full of successful directors, screenwriters, actors and comedians. The list of this family’s accomplishments is pretty extensive.

The Norwoods

After all these years, Brandy and Ray-J are still making headlines and on TV. Between Brandy’s reoccurring role on The Game and Ray-J rumored to be on LHHLA, they aren’t going anywhere. We just need Brandy to impart a little more wisdom to her baby bro.
